Questions about this workflow
Does this run when Ahrefs completes an audit?
No Ahrefs trigger is listed. The Notis cron schedule starts the workflow, and Notis then reviews available Ahrefs data.
Will it overwrite an existing page?
The workflow should state whether to create a new dated page or update a particular existing page, if supported by the available Canvas action.
What should the course page contain?
Ask for a short summary, notable findings, and any caveats needed to interpret the audit.
